Drain hot tub during each turnover?

[Jason Stoltzfus]

Simple question, do you drain and refill your hot tub during each turnover, or only as needed?

If only as needed, what does cleaning consist of? Just skimming out debris and adjusting chemicals?

[Ken Boone]

Drain and fill every time without question.  All kinds of things happen in hot tubs.  You will have guests ask you about how you clean your hot tub.  You don't want to say as needed.  You want to say after every guest.  You will be using a clean hot tub with fresh water that no one else has been in.  Period.  Anything else is unacceptable in my book.
